Chunda Palace

This noble house from the Mewar kingdom promises an authentic Rajasthani experience

Once the royal residence of nobleman Thakur Ghanshyam Singh Krishnawat, Udaipur’s inimitable Chunda Palace is the epitome of the region’s glorious past. The property has been named after its erstwhile owner’s grandfather, Rawat Chunda, son of Maharana Lakha.

16 years in the making, the palace is a fitting ode to the intricate nature of Rajasthan’s architectural legacy. The entire property has been adorned with artwork indigenous to the Mewar region, including gold leafing on the ceilings, natural colours on the walls, and furniture made from a combination of wood, silver and camel bone.
